Celebrate the Open Access Week
October 24-30, 2011
In the last 20 years, subscription prices to scholarly journals have
increased by more than 260%. As libraries' budgets shrink, so too will
their journal numbers. This means students will lose access to
invaluable literature.
We're planning several events to celebrate Open Access Week 2011 at GSLIS.
Come celebrate with us!
Taxpayers pay for publicly funded research; they should have access to it-
it is our right!
For more info, questions, recommendations email us.
Students: You should have the right to access scholarly works for free, both during and after you graduate. Open Access (OA) is based on the fundamental premise that knowledge is and ought to be public and promotes unrestricted access to research resources through peer-reviewed OA journals and open archives or repositories.
